So why all the French hate?

EXPLAIN!!!

Or is it just because the french were such an ass for not going to war with US?

We're talking about today, not 40 odd years ago.

That is the most insipid reply I've ever heard on this board. In political terms 40 years is a wink of an eye. All the major parties of French thought claim to be "Gaullist" parties. Jacque Chirac recently said, "If you do not understand De Gaulle, you do not understand France". You, are a fucking moron.

The West has always fought Islam

Indeed but Islam hasn't always fought the West. How many Crusades and invasions of Muslim-ruled countries have there been? Incalculable numbers I think. Conversely, how many Muslim invasions of Western nations have there been? Iberia, Italy, Poland. That's it. And _everyone_ invaded Poland at sometime or another.

Believe me, there is a new trend: Muslims are more aggressive now than they ever were, historically. They used to just be defensive.

Are all of these UN Peacekeeping missions by any chance?

a.) No, b.) So what if they were? My point is that France storms around the world invading countries, not that they don't bring food with them. I'm not insinuating that France is a 3rd world dictatorship. What I am saying is that they are 1st world adventurists every bit as misguided as the bloody Americans, AND that they do it out of a *desire* to inculcate anti-globalist sentiment in the international community.
